Hi guys,
I need to setup a new little PoP in a DC which is giving me max 200W of power. In similar situations i usually put a couple of catalyst 3850 with stack config, for production traffic and a 3750 for management one. This build consumes around 295W
Do you have a suggestion on what can i put in this 5 rack unit space which consumes less than 200W? I can use MLAG instead of stackwise, what i need are at least 12 10Gbps ports on production switch and a couple of 1Gbps ports for management (routed or switched ports is not a constraint)
PSU have to be AC
Thanks in advance!

This is not the correct forum for this question. probably should post it in the networking space.

Considering your requirements, here are some suggestions:
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series: These switches are designed for compact, low-power deployments. The Cisco Catalyst 9300-24UX model, for example, offers 24 10Gbps ports and 2 1Gbps ports, with a power consumption of around 140W
Juniper Networks EX2300 Series: The EX2300-24T model provides 24 10Gbps ports and 2 1Gbps ports, with a power consumption of approximately 120W
Arista Networks 7130 Series: The Arista 7130-24Q model offers 24 10Gbps ports and 2 1Gbps ports, with a power consumption of around 150W
